Parents is a 1989 American black comedy horror film directed by Bob Balaban and written by Christopher Hawthorne. It stars Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt, Sandy Dennis and Bryan Madorsky.
Ten-year-old Michael Laemle has moved with his parents Nick and Lily from Massachusetts to a new neighborhood in 1954 suburbia. As Michael is very socially awkward and also has an overly active imagination, he has trouble making friends at school. He is also prone to extremely weird dreams, such as dreaming that he has jumped into bed- only for it to collapse into a pool of blood.
Emotionally distraught from the move and the dreams, Michael is traumatized by accidentally viewing his parents having sex (he believes that he is seeing them biting into one another) and by viewing his father cutting into a corpse in the Division of Human Testing at Toxico, where Nick is developing a chemical defoliant (like Agent Orange) for use in jungles. As time progresses, Michael begins to suspect that his parents are cannibals, after he discovers (or dreams that he discovers) body parts hanging on a meat hook in the basement. Michael is convinced that what he has seen is true, much to the chagrin of his school guidance counselor Millie Dew. One afternoon Millie goes home with Michael in order to convince him that he is imagining everything, only for the two of them to find a corpse in the basement. Michael runs up to his room while Millie, hiding in the pantry, is found and killed.
The trailer for Bob Balaban's directorial debut, where a boy discovers his parents' idyllic 1950s suburban lifestyle may be hiding a dark secret - namely, what is in the "leftovers" they eat every night? Or rather, who? Stars Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt and Sandy Dennis. Not featured on the DVD available from Lionsgate.
Siskel & Ebert review the 1989 independent horror-comedy Parents, starring Randy Quaid (National Lampoon's Vacation) and Mary Beth Hurt.
A favorite bit from "Parents"; this little kid's inner life is eerily like my own at that age. Sorry about any ads; some corporate non-entity claimed "rights" to the musical accompaniment, and i refuse to change or remove what the film-makers wanted for this scene.

Lee and Daniel are taking a couple-episode break before jumping in to what will be an extensive Spaghetti Western series. For this episode they are joined by their friend, fellow podcaster, musician, and published writer Kit Power, who suggested the two films for review this time: "Tommy" (1975) & "Parents" (1989). Because this was recorded a bit later in the week and way much earlier in the day than what Lee and Dan are used to, the whisky hits them much harder. They fully blame Kit for this, BTW. At any rate, the conversation goes deep in to both films, and a lot of both fun and serious issues are brought up. This might be one of the best of all time for the podcast when it's all said and done, even if there's a few audio glitches here and there (sorry for that, but it's nowhere near un-...

Aussie teens Thea and Corie are heading to Texas to spend a week with the Simons family. Their approach to parenting has been heavily influenced by their years of military service. They believe kids should be brought up with old-fashioned manners, hard work and fierce discipline. From Port Lavaca in Texas, Laval Simons spent 22 years in the military -- including 15 years as an elite special forces "green beret" in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. His wife Jennifer is a former Army nurse. "We're not afraid of being stern with our children at all," says Laval. "If they get mad at us, so what? It doesn't matter to me. They can get glad like they got mad." In this household, the parents rule the roost. "We are the parents," says mum Jennifer, "and they answer to us, not the other way a...

Two rebellious British teenagers experience strict parenting on the other side of the world, as rule-breaker Alex Miles and selfish diva Dina Darweish get new parents in Chicago. For a week they must live with the Davis family. Dad DeWayne is the pastor of a church in Chicago's West Side, a predominantly African-American neighbourhood. As a man who experienced the trauma of the Chicago riots in the late 60s, he has personal insight into how to resolve conflict. Today, he believes that that the best way to get teenagers to toe the line is to build good relationships with them in a warm, loving family home. But despite their loving nature, the Davises don't back down when it comes to setting firm boundaries. Completely out of his parents' control in the UK, Alex is set for a battle of w...

Emily and Harry are bound for the small Irish village of Whitechurch to live with Mary and John Coleman and their five children. As practicing Catholics, their parenting is based on morality and tradition. "Religion is a very clear cut, simple method in keeping yourself on the straight and narrow," Mary says. "You have to be strict in order to love your children properly." But they'll have their work cut out for them with this week's naughty duo. Emily, 16, is meant to be attending TAFE but she spends most days sleeping, watching daytime TV and throwing wild parties. Earlier this year the Sydney-sider was busted for driving under the influence, without even having a license. "I got to high school and discovered make-up and hair straighteners and boys and drinking and that was more import...
The McDonald family believe a mix of compulsory study, church and chores is the key to good parenting. Nathan McDonald is the Pastor at his local church in the small town of Zanesville, Ohio. His wife Cassandra is an opera singer and music teacher. Teens Troy and Aza will spend a week with the McDonald's, living by a routine of strict religious beliefs and ultra conservative values. Cassandra says, "You're not going to be a raunchy teenager that I can't stand. That's not happening here. I tell my students there are two 'L's' I don't deal with 'Lazy' and 'Liar.' If you're either one of them go study with someone else." The McDonald's have five adult children, and an 18-year-old foster son, Bryan. All of them were made to work and study hard. "From seventh grade on, they had to do their o...

For a week they must live under the strict rules of two dads in the Loperleveille family.
